21 members on the ELT now...why all the additions? Looks like FB took care of the rest of his OFD cronies plus threw a few bones to OFS.
Alignment
If you buy stock in the company your goals are aligned with leadership and you become more understanding of the direction and buy into the tough decisions more
Advice
Turn all of this energy, good and bad, into making team orange the number 1 company in America. Nothing improves morale like a few wins. Make this organization what you want it to be!!!!
Quite easy
It's quite easy to peg management posts, they're the ones that make it always sound like the employees owe the company something. Neither side owes anyone, anything. A 'job' is a mutual agreement, employee performs tasks, employer pays for those... — read more
FISV 2021 “dominate” Forecast
Staff Reduction Headline, Feb 2021: “Fiserv Continues as a Market Lead in Staff Demoralization” More location closures, random roulette-style RIFS, 10 hours+ at keyboard as measured by multitude of new hidden tracking programs, removal any... — read more
2021
What would you say are the main product areas of focus for 2021 and beyond Despite the chatter it looks like there’s a good opportunity to dominate with fiserv
Edited
This site is so edited I can’t follow the conversations
Today is the Day
New CEO!
Over/Under
In years before this combined company is sold off in pieces
Analysts
Downgrades have started. Buckle up
Expect more
Come July 1, expect more fines down the road. Once FB becomes CEO, it becomes his responsibility for the accuracy and availability of the information put into financial reports. Hasn't had a real good track record there.
Today's Fiserv Rally call
Anyone want to address the mess that FB sounded like and how JY tried to recover it at the end?
Rethinking work from work? I’m hopeful today
It sounds like there will be some rethinking of the stringent no-WFH trend that was starting to roll out earlier in the year. I have on good authority that FB and the leadership team are taking a different tact here than before. I hope SLT listen... — read more
Sev
Everyone that I know is still getting 2 weeks for every year. Not sure that will continue but it's awfully hard to change that when you've set a precedence for so long.
401k match Coming back soon?
Will we ever get our 401k company match back? The economy has obviously rebounded from the low point and seeing as I got the standard 2% raise & they TOOK away 3% by taking away the match, it would seem only fair for them to re-institute the match!! — read more
Do you feel safe returning to the office?
No! Even more after I saw this video! (Link below) 1 person infects 6 6 persons infects 36 36 person infects 1296 1296 person infects 1,679,616 This obsession that the firm has for micromanaging employees is outrageous and rampant! Why... — read more
Sinking ship?
Is this a parody account or are these real comments on here? Hoping for your sake, it’s the former
sapience
is it installed on UK machines? ( I assume it violates GDPR so they can't)
We're #s
We are all just a number and they don’t care if you been with company a day or 50 yrs, whether you’re a valuable asset or not one at all. George’s moto of “People make the difference” has been long gone since JY took over. George would be disgusted... — read more
Where do you guys see us 6 months from now?
Let' say November 2020
POTUS and FB have something in common
They love generals and they love ignoring them. I love what Gen. McC. said today at Forum about helping veterans by enabling remote work where they live (their hometown). That's a meaningful, good idea not just for them, but everyone! But I... — read more
Epay
It’s my understanding the epay division is going to undergo a massive organizational change with their group president moving to another role and their cio taking over as group president. The cio’s number 2 would then take on significant scope. The... — read more
Updates
Any significant updates from the weekly call?
A 'wave' of layoffs is coming for $100,000/year

Sapience II
Barclays attempted to install it, but they had a change of heart: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/20/barclays-backtracks-on-staff-surveillance-system-after-criticism.html
Self-awareness not mandatory at OFD
COVID issue has exposed OFD leadership and all of the little corporate puppets that mindlessly fall in line. The presenters want to be heard keep on jabberIng through the meetings assuming that we actually listen to the BULL**** updates. Please... — read more
Any news on Alpharetta consolidating
To another office location or you think they will keep it til lease run out
Give it a chance
Not sure everyone is giving frank and first data much of a chance. Try your best and reflect at year end, you may be pleasantly surprised
Strength of Culture
As an OFS person I have to admit OFD has a much stronger ERG program and desire to create a diverse and inclusive culture. I attended a session yesterday to discuss the present racial tension and that call never would of happened at OFS, I should... — read more
Amazing to me
It is truly amazing to me how amidst an age where people are dying from a pandemic, rioting and looting is spread throughout the country, serious problems abound with millions out of work and hundreds of thousands more dying and a person on this... — read more
Sapience
Can someone tell me how to see if it's on a machine? What's the fu software name, does it show in task manager, etc. Are we being given access to our data? Has anyone had their Sapience data held over their head in a review-type... — read more
Less than a Month
Early Warning for the OFS folks, be prepared for fast and furious change. Frank is going to come in like a hurricane when JY leaves and he is finally fully in control.
Management, Morale, Loyalty & Quality
Goes without saying that there has been a cultural shift over the last year at the firm. Management has cultivated an environment which has largely been fear based. While this may drive up KPIs or other management metrics and 'increase productivity'... — read more
Move away
I departed FS about six months ago and have slowly dropped reading this board as it is unhealthy to remain here. We KNOW the situation and nothing new is posted much these days, not layoff numbers to be sure. Move ON to a new life and job. Let FB... — read more
I'd rather not.
You know it is bad when you'd rather be laid off (amid a pandemic), than to continue working here.
The Infinite Game and the New Fiserv
Fiserv leaders, read this book by Simon Sinek. Frank certainly should as he lives the dark path. In the intro - describes exactly what’s going on right now. “The results of this default mindset are all too familiar: annual rounds of mass... — read more
Who else is dreading having to return to the office?
I have an extra two hours each day since I don't have to commute one hour each way to the office - and it makes so much difference! My day has improved significantly, despite everything that's been going on around us. And I don't think I've ever been... — read more
Trading
Watch the leadership stock trading closely. It tells the direction this company is heading. Going to be bumpy
Does anyone here?
Does anyone here think it's mere coincidence that Frank and crew all worked for JP Morgan during the housing bust? Do your homework.
